I was in Jakarta, Indonesia the week before Christmas and we made a side trip to Bali for a couple days. It was nice relaxing and warm!! Temperatures we in the 90's unlike the 20's we've got going on here now. :(:( The last day there we made a side trip and I found a local place making some...

I got this from Wood magazine. The wood is Figured Maple. I really like the figure in this. I'm going to give this along with the cutting board I made to my good friend. Thanks for looking. Comments and critique are welcomed and needed. Randy

I borrowed a design from Vaughn and made this for my good friend. The wood is Maple, Walnut and Cherry. My first end grain board. Hopefully he likes it. I ran out of time to make the finger slots on the ends. Since Ive never done those I want to practice some. He fly's back to Oklahoma City this...

Looking for some advice on getting a new camera. We currently have an Kodak 5 megapixel. I would like to upgrade this to something more current in the 8 to 10 megapixel range. It would be used 95% of the time by my wife. who uses it to take pictures of the kids, ie.. soccer games and around the...

Bill, Since you are planning on taking down the old drywall. Have you considered installing the new drywall horizontally? You wouldnt have the butt joints to deal with. Are the walls tall enough to do this? Just a thought. Also, since you would have the walls bare might want to install some...
